COMING TO THE FRONT.

In the last few months the papers
the State have been politi-
cally classified as it were-that is
those who favored the present State
administration and the reelection OF
Gov. S. D. McEnery were pat in one
class, and those who opposed him and
favored Gen. Nichols were put in an
other; also the few who had not
"come out" in their preference, or we're
Independent, were also arranged to-
gether 1t now transpires that these
political prognosticators have been
greatly at fault, for we see every day
that the country press are announcing
themselves altogether different from
what they had been put down to do.
Among that number is the Washing
ton Argus, a democratic journal of
many years, whose editor now says In
the plainest words:
The Shreveport Times lately came
out with list of the newspapers pub
lished in the State, giving their prefer
ences as to candidate for Governor
at the next general election. While
claiming no pretentions to great politi-
cal influence, the Aryus is not dis
posed to occupy a doubtful position in
its choice of a candidate. True to
Democratic principles, it intends to
give its support to the candidate whom
a Democratic convention may select
as a standard bearer. 1t takes no
stock in independent movements. 1t
has, however, decided preference,
and it declares that preference is IN
equivocally for the present incumbent,
Maligned and traduced as much as it
has been by its opponents, the present
administration has been wholly for the
good of the people of Louisiana. Its
financial policy has done much to-
wards the reduction of the public debt

of these facts, the Argus Intends tt

assembled, should think proper to Sc
